CANCER CARE CENTER TOLL-FREE NUMBER

Since March 2016 is active the Toll-free Number (+39) 800 143 143 dedicated to people with cancer diagnosis who want to undertake a course of tests and care at Sacro Cuore Hospital.

From Monday to Friday 9.00am-1.00pm two tutors answer (four dedicated lines), who, once the patient’s problem is identified, put him/her in touch with Oncology Department, services and units interested in type of cancer and specific clinical question.

The aim is to take charge of patient, accompanying step by step in his/her course, and reduce waiting times for diagnostic tests, surgical, pharmacological and radiotherapeutic treatments.

The initiative is part of multidisciplinary organizational model (from Anglo-Saxon world), from which the Cancer Care Center, structured in a transversal network to departments, single units and services involved in patient’s diagnostic-therapeutic procedure, permits quick taking charge of patient by a specialists’ team.

Since 15 April 2020, during COVID19 pandemic, the Toll-Free Number (+39) 800 143 143 is also open for remote psychological interviews.
